US capitalism (aka, powerful financial entities driving policy).
To be fair, not all people in business or government prioritize "the all-mighty dollar" over everything else. Unfortunately, those who don't usually have principles; those who do often are willing to break rules. This is not an even match.
It's just an appellate court ruling, not the summary execution of Bernie's last faithful warrior. It can't even set precedent since the opinions are unpublished.
Fox News and Trump still routinely say it's a hoax. And their devotees repeat that line in one breath, and in the next breath say, "wow, we just set a new high temp record in January!"
Consumer actions are meaningless here. If Altman can become Trump’s new best friend (can’t wait to watch the Altman/Musk drama), there will be so much public money directed toward OpenAI that they can stop wasting their time on the puny people.
I also canceled my subscription, and acknowledge it won’t make a difference. Feels like the early days of Facebook when people threatened to quit if they didn’t bring back the old design.
Democracy rewards mass appeal, and that in turn encourages demagoguery and gives a platform for stupidity. It's been an unavoidable problem with the system since Athens.
Iran obviously missed the memo. All they have to do is setup a wealth fund and invest heavily in a Trump venture; then they can become a most favored nation and forego all this conflict.
But I think this kind of test can really be limited on your display and color profiles.
Most of my misses were on blues, but sometimes the line was obvious. Other times, I could “see” many phantom bars of slightly different colors.
And in bright sunlight, I can see variations in the film in my phone screen. I suspect this could affect a test like this.
